-- Second baseman Mikey Scott, who earned All-State honors after helping lead Staples to its third FCIAC baseball championship in four years, was named Male Athlete of the Year, by Inklings, the Wreckers' student newspaper.

In the fall, Scott was part of the Staples' soccer squad that captured its third consecutive FCIAC title and advanced to the Class LL state final. In the winter, he served as the captain of the Staples' ski team.

Scott returned to the lineup for the Wreckers' FCIAC soccer semifinal after receiving 35 stitches that caused him to spend two weeks on the bench.

He entered a scoreless game with five minutes left in the first half.  His throw-in with 30 seconds remaining in the half was headed home by Frankie Bergonzi and led to a victory.

Scott served as the captain of the Wreckers' ski team in the winter.

"More than just about anyone, Mikey was about to maximize his strengths and negate his weaknesses," Staples soccer coach Dan Woog told the team's web site.  In the process — thanks to his always-positive personality — he brought everyone together.”

Scott is headed to the University of Michigan in the fall.

“I couldn’t be happier with the group of friends I made through sports,” he said.  “I plan to keep those bonds forever.”
